Obscene

Comrade Tarif Khalidi sent me this (I cite with his permission): "Not enough is heard, Azizi As`ad, about the OBSCENITY of the two wars on Gaza.
Here is a strip of Palestinian land whose inhabitants are in their great
majority refugees driven out of their ancestral homes by Israel in '48 and
'67--and here we have a vast arsenal of US weapons dropped by Israeli planes on
the heads of refugees, men, women and children, now collectively labeled
"terrorists". How utterly OBSCENE!"
